I wish I could. This is a cross-platform app and I can't change the file format.

How is this problem solved on those other platforms? Perhaps not at all?
Would it perhaps be possible to add this data in a way that doesn't affect the ability to read this file on other platforms? How about adding it to the resource fork (I know, not very Mac OS X...) as a last resort?

They match by path. :(


Also, now that I've tested some more, the thing I'm doing doesn't work if the filename has changed. :(
Any other ideas?

You might be able to base your ability to recognize the file on a hash of the file data?
Perhaps combined with a local lookup table of aliases to files, and their keys in the keychain.

Some good ideas, thanks.

Glen
